On Babies

 I haven't mentioned it here, I don't think, but we are expecting Kidlet 4 in July.  The Banana is very, very excited about becoming a big sister.  Mr. SP is set on wanting a little brother, but The Banana goes back and forth between whether she'd like the baby to be a girl or a boy.  

Today after lunch:

The Banana:  Mama, I really want that baby to come out of your tummy now.  I really want to see it now.  I really can't keep waiting.

Me:  Well, the baby needs to get a lot bigger before it can come out.

The Banana:  I really need a sister.  No, maybe a brother.  No, a sister.  I really want a sister.

Me:  Oh.  OK.

The Banana.  I want a brother but I want a sister.  

Me:  Well, God is pretty much in charge of that.  We'll just have to wait and see.

The Banana:  I really just want both.  Why don't we just have two babies?  One boy.  One Girl.

Me:  Well, there's only one baby in my tummy.  Remember the picture?

The Banana:  But that lady at the church at Noah's school has two babies with two car seats.  

Me:  Yep, she has twins.  But I only have one baby in my tummy. 

The Banana:  I KNOW that, Mama.  But we could just go GET another one.

Me:  Where would we get it from?

The Banana:  You go and drive to Minneapolis and get an extra baby and bring it home in another car seat.
